This workshop aims to present the current literature regarding the management of OSA in the able-bodied and SCI populations, including our validation of an alternative screening model for detecting moderate to severe OSA in chronic tetraplegia. We will also present our qualitative research describing current clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of OSA in SCI. Using this information, workshop participants will discuss how alternative screening and treatment models could be integrated into the clinical care of people with tetraplegia, to improve diagnosis rates, access to treatments, and ultimately, quality of life.
